St Johns County Veterans Treatment Court. The St Johns County Veterans
Treatment Court is designed to be a judicially led comprehensive treatment program
serving active military or honorable discharged veterans with qualifying criminal charges,
The goal is to work with veterans that meet eligibility criteria to eliminate substance
abuse concerns and to learn necessary skills to maintain a clean and sober lifestyle as
well as to effectively manage any mental health conditions. This program is intended to
offer St Johns County veterans an alternative of treatment and to avoid possible
incarceration or other punitive measures. Health and Human Services is requesting
BOCC to authorize the county administration or staff to work with the court to develop a
budget request in the FY 2017 budget proposal.

Public Hearing * Land Development Code Amendments - Article II "Zoning Districts
and Special Uses", Article VI, Part 6.03.00 "Fire Protection Regulations" and Article
XII "Definitions": Dogs in Outdoor Portions of Restaurants; Apiaries; Firing Ranges;
Fire Regulation; Data Submittals; Zoning Variance definition. This is the first
hearing in a three part series to consider changes to Article II "Zoning Districts and
Special Uses", Article VI, Part 6.03.00 Fire Protection Regulations and Article XII
"Definitions". This series of changes would bring the current Land Development Code
Standards for Doggy Dining into compliance with Florida Statutes and would create
supplemental provisions for restaurants whom wish to allow dogs within a specified
outdoor area; exempts the keeping of honey bees from requirements of a special use
permit per Florida Statute; updates Firing Range special use permit in accordance with
Florida Statute 790.15; brings current provisions for Fire Regulations to be in accord
with F.S. 633 (Fire Prevention and Control) and the Florida Fire Prevention Code; and
clarify the definition of Zoning Variance. These changes were considered originally as a
discussion item before the Board of County Commissioners on March 01, 2016. It was
the direction of the Board of County Commissioners to draft an ordinance and bring the
Land Development Code into compliance with newly adopted state regulations and fire
regulations. The Board may make modifications to the proposed changes for final action
at a later hearing. Additionally the Board may, by a majority plus one vote, hold the
hearing on the proposed change at a time other than after 5:00 p.m.
